Red Sea Crisis Bigger Than Hormuz: Saudi Arabia Cornered, India Not Insulated | Sushant Sareen

The Red Sea crisis is escalating and its consequences could reach far beyond Yemen and Saudi Arabia. The Houthis have advanced towards Bab el-Mandeb, a critical chokepoint on the Red Sea route linking Asia to the Suez Canal and Europe. With the Strait of Hormuz already under pressure, what happens to global oil and trade if both routes remain disrupted?For Saudi Arabia, the stakes are even higher: its oil routes are under pressure, and the Mecca Pact has failed its first real test. Is Iran using the Houthis to open a second front? Why is Donald Trump holding back from direct military action? And could the November US elections be part of the calculation? On Faultline, Ananya Dasgupta speaks to Sushant Sareen about the Houthi advance, Saudi Arabia's predicament, Iran's strategy, the Mecca Pact, Trump's calculations- and what it all means for India.
